This invention relates to a journal and guide bracket, and for thepurpose of exemplilication is shown and described with a chain gearoperated window awning.

.1 The object of the invention is the .production of a journal and guidebracket, by means of which'the curtain rod of a chain gear operatedwindow awning is supported and by which the sprocket chain of saidawning to is guided.

In the accompany drawings Fig. 1 represents a section as on the line 1,1 of Fig. 6, exemplifying the journal and guide bracket with a chaingear operated window awning; Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of aport-ion of the hood of the awning; Fig. 3 is an enlarged section ofFig. 1 on the line 3, 3; Fig. 4 represents an enlarged section of Fig. 1on the line 4, 4; Fig. 5 shows a section of Fig. l on the line 5, 5;Fig. 6 represents a front elevation of the chain gear operated windowawning with the journal and guide bracket; Fig. 7 indicates an enlargedview of a portion of Fig. 6 and section on line 7, 7 of Fig. 6; Figs. 8and 9 represent enlarged perspective views of small. portions of Fig. 6;Fig. 10 represents the elements indicated in Fig. 8 in a changedposition; Fig. 11 shows an enlarged perspective view of a second form ofthe journal and guide bracket; Fig. 12 indicates a front view of Fig. 11with some details added thereto and Fig. 13 indicates an enlargedsection of i 6 on the line 13, 13.

The chain gear operated window awning is represented as connected inplace to tne walls of a window opening, and comprises a pair of angleirons 21 and 22, which are fastened in place by means of the bolts 23.The angle irons 21 and 22 are cut to form the clearance openings orspaces 24. The top ends of the angle irons 21 and 22 are connected by ahood indicated in its entirety by the numeral 25. The said hoodcomprises .50 the said brackets and upon the latter is prefa pair ofbrackets located at its opposite pivoted the roller bracket 43,-by meansof the pivot pin 44. The latter bracket has formed therewith theslottedjOUIIlllbQfil ing45. The bracket 43 is held in place by means of thescrew 46, which engages a threaded-opening in the angle iron 22.

The'roller of the awning is indicated as comprising the tubular sleeve48, having the plugs 49 and 50 tightly secured at its ends. A journalpin 51 extends from the plug 49. A'sprocket chain wheel 52 is indicatedwith the boss 53, extending from one side thereof and the journal pin 54from its other side. The boss 53 is tightly secured in the plug 50. Thejournal and guide bracket is indicated in its entirety by'the numeral55, and comprises the arm 56, which has formed therein the guideopenings 57 and 58. The arm 56 has formed at one end thereof the flange59. The latter is fastened to the angle iron 22, by means of screw bolts60. A journal bracket is indicated in its entirety by the numeral 64.The latter bracket has formed therewith the flange 65, which is boltedto the angle iron 21 by means of the screw bolts 66. Each of thebrackets and 64 have extending there from a screw pivot 67 with the wingnut 68.

A U-shaped curtain supporting rod 69 has fastened to its ends the I'brackets 70, which are hinged to the screw pivots 67. The curtain forthe awning is indicated at 71 and, has its upper endv fastened to thesleeve 48 of the roller by being inserted in a slot thereof'in the usualway, and the other end encircles and is fastened to the U shapedsupporting rod 69. l

At the lower portion of the angle iron 22 is indicated the adjustablecrank handle plate 7 2. The plate 7 2 has formed therein the elongatedopenings 7 3 through which extend the screw bolts 74, that are inthreaded engagement with the angle iron 22 and adjustably clamp saidplate 72 thereto. A screw pivot 78 having the head 79 extends from theplate 7 2 and is in threaded engagement therewith. A look nut 80 isprovided for the screw pivot 78 and bears against the plate 72. Asprocket chainwheel 81 has formed therewith the hub 82, and is journaledon the screw pivot 78. An operating handle 83 18 provided with the soc]!through the guide openings 57 and 58 of theguide bracket 55. Theopenings 57 and 58 maintain the membersoi' thechain parallel to eachother.

Referring to Figs. 11 and 12 a modified journal and guide bracket isindicated in its entirety by the numeral 93. 7 The bracket 93' hasformed therewith a flange 94 similar to desire to secure by LettersPatent and claim 1s: r l

1.. A journal and guide bracket comprising an arm having openingsadapted to guide the sprocket chain of a chain gear operated windowawning, a pivot extending from the arm adapted-to have hingedthereto oneend of a curtain supporting rod.

2. A journal and guide bracket comprising an arm having formed atone-endthereof a flange, a box shaped enclosure formed atthe other end of thearm, anangle shaped guide partition in the box-shaped enclosure, and aguide roller in the said enclosure having its ends pivoted in said armand in one of the walls of the enclosure.

flange 59 and an arm 97 at right angles thereto. At the outer end ofsaid arm is formed the box shaped enclosure 95 with the walls 96,

98 and 98 The wall 96 and the arm 97 are connected by the angle shaped,guide partition 99. A guide roller 100 is located in the enclosure95 andhas its ends pivoted in the wall 96 and the arm 97. The screw pivot 67,already described, extends from the arm 97 and is provided with its wingnut 68. In this instance the sprocket chain is inclicated with theinclined member 101 and the member 102. The member 102 is guided betweenthe end wall 98 and the partition 99, and the member 101 is guided overthe guide roller 100'. The guide bracket indicated in Figs. 11 and 12 isused in case the catches 89 are in the way and interfere with theoperation of the sprocket chain.

To operate the mechanism of the window awning, the user disengages thepawl-88 from the sprocket chain wheel 81, and by means of the operatinghandle 83 turns the sprocket chain wheel 81. The rotations of the latterare transmitted to the sprocket chain wheel 52 through the sprocketchain 90-, and thereby the curtain 71 is either roller on or from theroller having the sleeve A8, at the will of the user. When the curtain.is located in the desired position, the pawl 88 is locked with thesprocket chain wheel 81..

Various modifications may be made inthe invention and the presentvexemplifieation is to be taken as illustrative and not limitativethereof.
